Easter Chick Knitting Patterns

Chicks don’t necessarily have anything to do with Easter, but they are a popular motif this time of year. I’ve shared some chick knitting patterns before, but it seems like time to share some more.

I love this little bitty fuzzy chick from Gray Bear Akswokrat on Etsy. It’s worked flat and the pattern includes photos to help with assembly.

This funny chick has a flower on its head, but you could use a different embellishment or just leave it off if you don’t like it. This pattern is from Midaami292, and it is also worked flat and uses four colors of yarn. The yarn used on the sample is DK weight and makes a chick that’s 26 cm, or a little more than 10 inches tall.

Fluff and Fuzz has another adorable chick pattern, this time adorned with a little hat and scarf, perfect for those places where it’s still chilly at Easter time. This one calls for DK weight yarn in four colors and uses straight knitting needles for working flat. The chick comes out to 20 cm tall including the hat (that’s about 7.8 inches).

Chicks make a great shape to cover a chocolate orange, and you can find three different chick chocolate orange covers in this pattern from Carol Connelly (available on Ravelry). You can knit up a chick that’s still hatching from the egg, a round one with feet and a fuzzy full bodied chick. They use DK weight yarn and are worked flat from the bottom up.

Frugal Knitting Haus has this adorable mama hen washcloth with scrubby chicks that you can buy on Ravelry or their website. It uses regular worsted weight kitchen cotton yarn for the hen and a scrubby yarn for the chicks.

Maybe my favorite of all, though, is Jan the little chick purse, a pattern on Ravelry from Cristina Tonarelli. It’s exactly what it sounds like: a little purse made with a coin purse clasp in the shape of a chick. It uses worsted weight yarn and the instructions are made for working in the round, but it includes instructions for working flat as well.

Fun Easter Knitting Patterns

Adding a bit of knitting to your fall decor is a lot of fun, whether it’s knit pumpkins or a bunch of adorable knit ghosts like these.

Knit ghosts can be super simple like this free ghost knitting pattern from Trixie Zynch on Ravelry. Using about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn, they’re worked from the bottom up and are super cute as a pair.

This fuzzy little ghost from Forest Knitting Toys is holding a pumpkin and wearing a witch hat, though of course the accessories are optional, as is the fuzzy yarn. The main yarn is chunky and the ghost measures about 10 cm/4 inches tall. It’s worked in the round.

Another fuzzy ghost in more of a Pacman style is this ghost plushie form South Stitch Girls. It’s worked in the round with bulky yarn and includes a sweet little bow you can make in whatever color you like.

The ghost doll from Edith Grace Designs has little arms and a curl at the top of its head. The body is worked flat using DK weight yarn and you could also work it in glow in the dark yarn for extra fun. The body and head are worked in one piece with the arms knit separately.

The Grim Grinning Ghosts from Susan Claudino are super cute and you can knit them in any yarn and gauge you like to make ghosts of different sizes. These are worked in the round with the body done in one piece and the arms are knit separately. The ghosts shown were knit in sock yarn, DK and worsted weight yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Make a ghost with funny striped legs with this ghost shelf sitter design from Claire Fairall Designs. It’s worked in three colors of DK weight yarn, and the letters spelling out boo are made with strips of garter stitch sewn into shape.
